Typography

After having started my infographic about ‘How to make hot chocolate’ I have been struggling to find a suitable font type. Fonts are useful in helping to illustrate the idea and create a mood for the image, often the title is what viewers notice first so it needs to be eye catching and interesting. The font used for a title needs in some way to explain what the infographic is about for example, if the image was about something scary you wouldn’t use a fun, bubbly, cartoon like font. I want my font to be modern and funky, it needs to be readable and fit the mood of the image. I have been taking looking at chocolate advertisements in order to get a better understanding of how other people have represented chocolate in the fonts. It seems that a skinny, rounded font would look good on the hot chocolate infographic and add a funky edge. Since I have the title and instructions it gives me the flexibility to have a few different fonts if it looks good.
